reverse ace

I was out of town when AOC did her latest IdPol damage, saying the New Deal was "extremely racist". But, even though its late, I felt compelled to speak to it. Here's the pertinent quote from an interview at SXSW:

'The New Deal was an extremely economically racist policy that drew little red lines around black and brown communities and it invested in white America,' the Democratic socialist said during her interview on Saturday evening.

Its one thing to speak cliches about loss when someone dies; it is completely different to try to rewrite history to make a bloodthirsty warmonger into someone who should be praised and emulated.

While many leftists are trying to push back against the glorification of McCain, I think the correct approach is best made by Caitlin Johnstone. Its not about McCain himself, its about using him as a poster boy for warmongering.
